Untimely
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Nothing in life has been made by man for man's using
|
|
But it was shown long since to man in ages
|
|
Lost as the name of the maker of it,
|
|
Who received oppression and shame for his wages--
|
|
Hate, avoidance, and scorn in his daily dealings--
|
|
Until he perished, wholly confounded
|
|
|
|
More to be pitied than he are the wise
|
|
Souls which foresaw the evil of loosing
|
|
Knowledge or Art before time, and aborted
|
|
Noble devices and deep-wrought healings,
|
|
Lest offense should arise.
|
|
|
|
Heaven delivers on earth the Hour that cannot be
|
|
thwarted,
|
|
Neither advanced, at the price of a world nor a soul,
|
|
and its Prophet
|
|
Comes through the blood of the vanguards who
|
|
dreamed--too soon--it had sounded.
|
|
|
